Pelimanni's Revenge

Evening Music | May 6, 2010
The string quartet Ethel plays new music of all kinds, as evidenced by their second album, Light. We take a listen to their arrangement of Finnish harmonium player Timo Alakotila's lively toe-tapper "Pelimanni's Revenge." Also, music by two composers who follow the contemporary DJ mold when it comes to monikers, DBR and Jacob TV.

Also Featured Tonight:

Iva Bittova / "The Little Calf" (Dos Kelbl)
Stephen Perillo / Oboe Serenade
Morten Lauridsen / "Les Chansons de Roses"
Fred Lerdahl / Quiet Music
Charles-Valentin Alkan / Cello Sonata in G minor, Op.65
